Please don't hijack the thread.

Re: Iran president: 'Not feasible' for Israel to live

But Iran is a democracy, not matter how much Americans want to keep denying that.

Ah, so now I'm an American. Right.

You shouldn't ASSume.

Anyways, back on topic; has anyone found a source for this quote in the AP article? I haven't been able to find anything, and would tend not to believe it, especially considering the fact that the only part that is quoted is "not feasible".

The first point is that the Iranian president was elected, and he was, no matter how technical you want to get about it he was elected by the people of Iran, you can try to spin it a billion different ways, but the president of Iran was elected by the people, so was the parliament.

Dude, when you have a communist, Republicans, and an Ayn Rand libertarian all arguing against you you're probably wrong. Was the USSR a democracy? Is Cuba? Was Saddam's Iraq? All of those countries had elections, just like Iran.

Re: Iran president: 'Not feasible' for Israel to live

Some problems can only be solved with military force, and when military force is required, it should be overwhelming,
So... what's your point?
And... how is that point relevant?

My problem is with your premise that when military force is required it should be overwhelming. There are many more factors in this conflict than one force vs another.

It is relevant because it sets back diplomacy, angers many of Israel's neighbors, and show's that Israel's attempt to solve the problem only makes it worse. Thus it is not possible to attain peace in the ME with Israel's strategy.

Huh...despite the overwhelming force being applied by Israel diplomacy is still happening as we speak, shiznit. I guess that kinda wrecks your argument, no?

And I see you're still blaming the victim here. Why is Israel to be condemned because she can more effectively defend herself? The proportionality nonsense is just that...nonsense.

Israel's strategy is and has been a response, a reactive strategy. Peace cannot be achieved in the ME because Israel's neighbors, possibly except for Egypt, don't accept Israel's right to exist.
